A Jersey City man arrested on the Slope yesterday and charged with burglarizing cars was also charged with multiple drug counts related to marijuana and ecstasy, officials said.

Leonel A. Veloz, 19, of Columbia Avenue, was arrested on Terrace Avenue near North Street at 1:56 a.m. and charged with burglary and theft, a police report says.

He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession with intent to distribute near a school and near public property, the report says.

Officers spotted Veloz in a vehicle rummaging through the glove compartment, and when they asked him who the car belonged to, he said his mother, mumbled a name, and then jumped out of the car and started running away, the report says.

Police units flooded the area and Veloz was caught in a backyard, the report says.

Once in custody, police found Veloz had 27 bags of suspected marijuana, one ecstasy pill, a digital scale, numerous quarters, and a GPS unit and charger, the report says.

The owner of the vehicle said nothing was missing but the cops spotted a van nearby with its interior light on and glove compartment open and the owner of that vehicle said his GPS and charger were missing, the report says.
